Liverpool in the 'post-Jurgen Klopp' era: Question marks over ambition
While direct competitors are very active in the transfer market, Anfield has yet to see any new signings.
Up to this point, new coach Arne Slot has had to say goodbye to two players, center back Joel Matip and midfielder Thiago Alcantara. Obviously, the gap left by the two faces above is not small. Liverpool's leadership needs to quickly bring in suitable replacements.
In fact, The Kop's squad has been thin since last season. Just because they don't have a strong squad, coach Jurgen Klopp could only helplessly watch Liverpool "run out of steam" in the final stages of the season. Remember, the Anfield team "raised the white flag" in the FA Cup, Europa League and Premier League.
"Without flour, there is no glue", if Liverpool wants to reap success in the 2024/2025 season, they must create the most favorable conditions for coach Arne Slot to build a squad with depth. However, this is not a simple matter, because Liverpool is not as financially strong as Man City, Man United or Chelsea.
The new season is approaching, Liverpool is still quite indifferent to the transfer market. Seeing the big teams racing to "go shopping", Liverpudlians are also feeling extremely worried about the future of their team. If they do not add to their squad, coach Arne Slot and his team will find it difficult to compete with their opponents.
According to information from European press, Liverpool is planning to recruit winger Takefusa Kubo. However, to own the "Japanese Messi", the English team must pay Real Sociedad no less than 60 million pounds. Most likely, the deal will be completed in the next few days.
With the arrival of Takefusa Kubo, coach Arne Slot has only solved the problem in the front line, while the defense and midfield are still in a state of alarm. Liverpool's management must quickly bring in two quality faces to replace Joel Matip and Thiago Alcantara.
Therefore, Liverpool in the "post-Jurgen Klopp" era is receiving skepticism from experts and Liverpudlians about its ambitions in the 2024/2025 season. It should be noted that next season, coach Arne Slot and his team will have to compete in 4 arenas: Premier League, FA Cup, League Cup and UEFA Champions League./.
